Companies Act 1993

Approval of arrangements, amalgamations, and compromises by court

236B: Takeovers code does not apply where court order under section 236

You could also call this:

“Court orders on voting rights override takeover rules”

The takeovers code doesn’t apply when a court makes an order under section 236(1) that changes the voting rights of a code company. This means that if a court decides to change how voting works in a company, the usual rules about taking over companies don’t apply to that situation. You don’t need to worry about the takeovers code in these cases because the court has already made a special decision about the company’s voting rights.
